Why Go Nuts?

As a food, nuts are a concentrated source of protein and of energy mostly in the form of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated oils – the types of oils which have been found to help lower LDL cholesterol when eaten instead of saturated fats.
Many nuts contribute useful amounts of minerals, notably calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, selenium and zinc, and vitamins – A, B complex and E – to your diet, even in the relatively small quantities in which they are usually eaten.
Quite aside from their healthy properties, nuts are delicious!
